Most of the works hosted in this museum come from the adjoining Collegiate Church of San Andrea; the church was built in 1093, while the façade was probably added during the 12th century, following the typical Florentine Romanesque style (geometrical compositions of white and green marble).
The museum houses works by masters of the 14th and 15th centuries, such as the “Christ in Pietà” fresco by Masolino, the baptismal font and the “Annunciation” by Bernardo Rossellino, the “Christ in Majesty” by Filippo Lippi and the “Saints” by Pontormo. In the cloister it is possible to admire Della Robbia’s majolica.
